Designed by American golf course architect Gil Hanse, the 970,000m² facility was set to play host to many of the world’s top players during the 2016 Olympics. Since then it is used to help increase public participation in the sport in Brazil.
Built entirely with private funding, the 18-hole Rio 2016 Olympic Golf Course, which includes facilities for 15,000 spectators, was unveiled by the city government at a ceremony in Barra da Tijuca, not far from the main Olympic Park. The challenging course includes two artificial lakes, and a host of other features and obstacles that bring the best out of golfers.

Na gister Gavea gespeeld te hebben, was een totaal andere ervaring. Dit is echt een championship course! Hij deed me heel erg veel aan golfbaan Bernardus denken. Zelfde stijl, zelfde karakteristieken.
De greenfee is voor niet-inwoners wel wat te duur vind ik, en het clubhuis is misschien wel het lelijkste dat ik ooit heb gezien, maar voor de rest (lees oefen faciliteiten…

Links type golf course, at the same time challenging and rewarding. Par 71 in 7300yd course by Gil Hanse. Great opportunity to play golf on the course that hosted the women's and men's Rio 2016 Olympics tournaments. Few and negligible weaknesses.

Il campo é fantastico ed e mantenuto molto bene.
La Clubhouse, soprattutto dal punto di vista di atmosfera e clima, ancora non ha raggiunto un livello minimo accettabile, dovuto soprattutto al forte turn-over dei gestori e dei loro funzionari. Anche la struttura é carente di spazi minimi adeguati per lasciare la propria borsa, il proprio carrello o il proprio cart. Non e…

Playing golf at the Olympic Course of Rio just before the carnaval week was a special experience. Took the metro to the Jardim Oceanico station and from there a taxi to Bara da Tijuca. It took us a while to find the entrance because there are no signs to direct you to the course. Once you leave the taxi you have to figure out what to do... The left building is the caddiem…

Seit 2017 steht er der Golfplatz für die Allgemeinheit offen. Ein Kriterium der Genehmigung für den Platz war, dass er nach der Olympiade halt keine geschlossene Clubanlage werden dürfe, sondern mindestens 20 Jahre lang öffentlich sein müsste. Zwar fällt wie überall eine Greenfee an, aber man muss nicht einmal Mitglied eines Clubs sein, um hier spielen zu dürfen.
